A TWO-AIR-STREAM OBSERVATION CHAMBER FOR STUDYING RESPONSES OF FLYING INSECTS

Abstract

The paper describes an observation chamber and airconditioning system designed for studying the responses of flying insects at the boundary between two microclimates. Two vertical air streams each fill one half of the rectangular observation chamber. Turbulence is carefully removed so as to maintain a sharp boundary between the streams. Each stream is separately conditioned by passage through heat exchangers and plastic sponges impregnated with substances to be vapourized. Responses of flying insects are studied both photographically and by counting rates of turning at the boundary.
